[BUG] patman: refused to send patches because of warnings

[Tony Dinh]

Hi Simon,

I tried to send in patches to add support for a new board. patman
seems to hit a problem with "Bad divisor in main" error and refuses to
send the patches. The warnings are not really important, are they? In
some instances, we need camel cases because that is what the
convention in the specs for MPPs. And the #ifdef or #if is necessary
because the "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG...))" cannot be used to compile-out
a function. And the warnings about MAINTAINERS seem unnecessary.

Is there an option to tell patman to ignore the warnings or checks?

Here is the patman log.
